broken mobo socket pin

Not certain.

It's possible that pin is only related to overclocking, but I just don't know.

You could just try it I suppose. I doubt it would cause damage. If it doesn't work chances are it either won't turn on, or will give a boot error or BSOD if it can even boot into Windows.

If it was MY system I would RMA the board if that is an option for you.

I got it on ebay months ago so sadly no. It was my fault and this is my first build which sucks but i'm no going to risk it. Instead I decided I was going to do a mini itx build so I guess it works out
